Understanding Load Cell Resistance and Its Impact on Performance: A Comparison Between 350 OHM and 2800 OHM Load Cells At Morehouse, we have been asked about the differences between load cell input and output resistances, which typically range from 350 OHM to 2800 OHM. This blog aims to provide a deeper understanding of load cell […]
Expressing SI Units on a Keyboard: Rules and Keyboard Shortcuts Anyone who has ever written an article, manuscript, website copy, copy for their calibration certificates, or any writing involving proper SI usage has likely had some confusion on how to make sure what they are writing is technically correct. We see it all of […]
Accuracy and Precision in Force Measurement Simplified When taking measurements, two critical concepts to understand are Accuracy and Precision. While related, Accuracy and Precision describe different aspects of measurement quality. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. A measurement is considered accurate if it is close to the actual or […]
Metrology AI There have been a lot of questions and discussions about using AI to analyze data for use in Metrology. This post about metrology AI will show some of the powerful tools and how to use them in ChatGPT 4o, which became available on September 12, 2024, and discuss some of the statistics […]
Stain Gauge or Strain Gage? There is a debate on how “strain Gauge” should be spelled. Should it be “Strain Gauge or Strain Gage.” The purpose of this post is to provide a little bit of research history on the advent of the strain gauge or strain gage. Through some research, it seems the proper […]
Tensile Force: Understanding the Pulling Power in Materials Tensile force is a fundamental concept in materials science and engineering that refers to the force exerted when an object is pulled or stretched. This pulling force causes tension within a material, leading to elongation along the axis of the applied force. Understanding this force is crucial […]

Understanding Compression Load Cell Equations Compression load cells are critical for measuring pushing forces in various applications. Here at Morehouse, we calibrate many tension load cells from various capacities. One of the more essential aspects of these calibrations is ensuring the appropriate adapters are used. Our e-book and other documents speak to the importance of […]
Strain Gauge: How a Load Cell Measures Force Strain Gauge is sometimes misspelled as a strain gage. A strain gauge is a sensor used to measure strain (deformation) on an object. Here's a brief overview of strain gauges: Structure: Typically, it consists of a thin, flexible, insulating backing that supports a metallic foil pattern. The […]
